When I'm just looking at a webpage and reading something, my computer tower clicks off and the screen goes blank. The green light stays on, however, and I have to hold the button in to shut it off. I know that it's not the screensaver because I get the computer to display the screen again once it clicks off. Why does it do this and how can I stop it?

I meant to say that I "can NOT get the screen to turn on again."

There are many things that could be wrong. Open the computer and look to see if the powersupply fan is running and also look to see if the processor fan is running.

could be a number of things
a virus...
but in most cases
your computer maybe overheating.
when your computer overheats it shuts off automatically.

You probably have an old junky computer. Get a new one if it persists.
